Adult neurogenesis consists in the generation of newborn neurons from neural stem cells
taking place in the adult brain. In mammals, this process is limited to very few areas of the …

A paradigm shift in neuroscience was the discovery that new neurons are constantly
produced in the adult mammalian brain of several species, including Homo sapiens. These …

Neurogenesis occurs in discrete regions of the adult brain, particularly the hippocampus. It is
enhanced in the hippocampus of animal models and patients with neurological diseases …

Adult neurogenesis, the process of generating new neurons from neural stem cells, plays
significant roles in synaptic plasticity, memory, and mood regulation. In the mammalian …

The recent discovery that neurons are born throughout life in specific brain regions has
caused explosive interest in the possible involvement of adult neurogenesis in a host of …

Two regions of the mammalian brain maintain the capability to generate new neurons
throughout lifetime: Neuronal stem-and precursor cells proliferate in the subgranulare zone …

Until recently neurogenesis in mammals was considered to occur only during the embryonic
and early post-natal periods and to have no significant role in the adult nervous system …

The hippocampus has long been known to play a prominent role in establishing new
memories. More recently, the hippocampus has been implicated in several psychiatric …

Over one-quarter of adult Americans are diagnosed with a mental illness like Major
Depressive Disorder (MDD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, and …

Adult neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus has gained considerable
attention as a cellular substrate for both the pathophysiology and treatment of depression …
